This is your journal for inwardbound adventuresuse it to write, brainstorm, explore, imagineand even rip! Good YA book, A wide variety of activities designed to help young writers but really writers of all ages to explore and expand their creative writing, Many authors contributed a lot of variety and lots of examples, Good for individual or group/mentor use, OK, so apparently our librarian functions on about anth grade level, In this case that's not insulting or bad although I think that has more to do with this particular book and less to do with that

particular librarian.


Anyway, this is another prompt book that I'm mining for my creative writing class, This book is clearly aimed at young writers it says so many, many, many times but it has some great, creative, fun approaches to writing, it's varied, and it also includes some nifty notes from authors which is nice.
There's a good balance of writing, actions, and reading in here, too,

It's a pretty fun little book that I would definitely recommend to those with young writers and those who don't mind using a book for young writers.
This is a great book for preteen to teen not sure what age it is aimed at, I went through it for creative writing ideas for my elementary kids, There are a lot of great, very creative ideas that I plan on using with my kids, Some very good short writing ideas that can be done within an hour many less than that, I split them up into poetry, on location some would be perfect for doing at the library, park or grocery store for example, group activities and art based.
I did not finish every page of this book as it is a creative writing book, Because of some of the wordings this book uses, I would hesitate to recommend it, I would recommend using it as a creative writing idea book and not a book you hand over to your children! This is a very nice, participatory title that will encourage writers of all ages to go out into the world and embrace what they already know.
It will equip them with the tools to turn that knowledge into writing and will help them have fun along the way,

I was hoping to use this with my middle and high school writers groups, but I think it is a bit better in a oneonone setting.
However, there are a few sections that I think will work well for us as a group, or at least for me to use as the facilitator.


There's a lot of wordplay, a lot of attention to detail and the unfamiliar, and the author definitely embraced and used poetry to her advantage.
I was overjoyed to see that it wasn't at all all fictionbased,

This title definitely provides its reader with a lot of room for growth and experimentation, The only thing I may have liked to see a little more of is instruction, It's a little lacking in the area of DOs and DON'Ts which a lot of young, aspiring writers need to practice as they learn these acts of freethinking.
Good writing needs to have a balance of both, However, I don't think this is enough of a fault to warrant not giving this book a shot, If I were still teaching language arts, literacy development, and/or writing coursesno matter the age of the studentsMs, Benke's superbly practical book would be by my side every day, The writing prompts are inventive, the author views are inspiring, the supportive, upbeat narrative voice goes a long way in building confidence, particularly for those language learners/users/makers who feel they have so little to say, so few life experiences to draw on as readers and writers.
"Try This," "Suddenly a Story, . . ," "Definition Decoder"these series help build interest as much as they encourage deep thinking, Communi"ty: Ms. Benke builds a community of writers, thinkers, believers, I love this book. You will too. Love it! Good for getting a young writer to think outside the box great to get creativity going, Get ideas for journaling. A book for kids to read if they wan't to write a story, essay or anything, It is a fun book and I like to read again and again, An excellent workbook for young or older! writers, Because I got this from the library, I've marked several pages to copy I'll enjoy many of these prompts, The peppered advice from writers, and the sample poems, are highlevel, which doesn't make kids feel like kids, It expresses 'you can do it' by saying, 'you can do it well!' I'd give it to a child who likes to write or even one that doesn't or even my own children.
I just might. Отличные упражнения для развития писательского мастерства. Karen Benke is a gifted teacher and fantastic writer! This book is a must read for kids and adults alike! Filled with fun and inspiring ideas to move kids and adults imaginations forward! This book seems to be aimed at kids but I think adults would understand the vocabulary and themes better.
There were large parts that I didn't connect with but also some nice ideas and activities if you don't mind searching for them, From the title, you would expect this book to give you more tips on plot and characters and such, But there's none of that, It should really be called, 'Adventures in Poetic Writing', groan I don't like to write poems!!!

Bookmarking this to maybe use with my kids one day, Karen Benke has created an imaginative place for children to let their mind wander and write their hearts, This book is equal parts motivator, instigator, and proposition maker, Henke invites the reader to take chances, leap before they look, and explore the unknown,
